This weekend there was a soccer tournament in Birmingham. It had been awhile since we had been to one and when it was mentioned to us, we decided to go watch and cheer.
It was great. We watched the first game and then went out to eat with the group of players and their wives and girlfriends.
We hadn't seen some of the guys in awhile. Many of them had played together in high school with a few other guys to fill out the team.
It was like old times with a bunch of soccer players, talking, laughing, teasing and just having fun and hanging out.
It was exciting to watch our sons and their friends play. Indoor soccer is so much faster and more intense than outdoor soccer.
Two of our daughters-in-law were there supporting their guys. We were the only old folks there. It was a great day and we really enjoyed it.
It is a little sad when the kids grow up, and leave home. But once in awhile, you get invited to a game and it is like old times and you just enjoy the moment of watching your grown sons play a game they love.

Glad you could come! I'm glad that they have really been able to stay active in soccer. We had a lot of fun, and you missed the most intense game the next day.
Darn it, that is always my luck. I really do enjoy indoor soccer.
